None, the ice cap at the south pole is shrinking not the landmass.
Antarctica is the coldest and driest continent on Earth, receiving very little precipitation each year. Rain is extremely rare in Antarctica due to its freezing temperatures, with most precipitation falling as snow. The majority of the continent's interior is considered a desert because of its low annual precipitation levels.
Antarctica does have a dry and wet season, but the wet season consists mainly of snow. It doesn't rain in Antarctica, and Antarctica is a desert, so there is not much snow.Another AnswerAntarctica is a desert and thus has no wet season.
Yes, Antarctica receives more snowfall than most other countries, with some areas averaging over 6 inches of snow per year. The interior of Antarctica is the driest place on Earth, but coastal regions can receive much higher amounts of snowfall.
Antarctica is the driest continent on Earth, receiving only a few inches of precipitation each year, mainly in the form of snow. It can vary by region, but generally, Antarctica experiences limited rainfall and infrequent precipitation events.
The high interior of Antarctica gets very little snowfall (50 mm or 2 inches a year). The average snowfall over the whole continent is around 166 mm (6.5 inches) per year, and parts of the Antarctic Peninsula receive more than 600 mm (2 feet).
Antarctica receives little precipitation each year which classifies it as a desert.
Antarctica, the continent, does not change in size, but the ice the surrounds the continent freezes in the winter, essentially doubling the size of the ice that covers 98% of the continent.
Because it's so cold, most moisture over Antarctica evaporates. The average humidity is only about five percent.

It is difficult to say how much water gets polluted each year in Antarctica as this is not something that can be easily quantified. The things that contribute most are oil spills and flotsam, so this changes every year.
600,000 people fly to the Antarctica everyday. 35% are scientist.
There are no forests in Anarctica. There were tropical rainforests the 50 million years ago, but not any more.
